different warring states of japan

Chapter 87 Take Over
Asai Nagamasa was indeed busy.The slack season after spring plowing has passed for several days, and if there is no war, it will soon enter the summer harvest period.

The success or failure of this battle is still uncertain, but it is indeed the Liujiao family's attack on the Asai family's territory.

If the Liujiao family was determined to let their Xiashou rot in the field and focus on harvesting the wheat from the Asai family, the Asai family would not even be able to cry.

In the agricultural era, food is the lifeblood.The lack of food is not a matter of a few percent of the price increase, it is a matter of starving to death for only a few percent of people who have not eaten.

Therefore, the Liujiao family must be blocked from the territory, and the Liujiao army must be blocked on the front line of Zuohe Mountain City.

Fortunately, Liujiao's family has internal and external troubles this time, and her family has no intention to take it easy.

Yoshihide Rokkaku wanted to win the battle, so he subdued the Asai family.Only then can he turn around to appease the shogunate, reward the retainers, and secure the throne of the family governor who has been seriously shaken before his position is stable.

Since everyone was pressed for time, Yiyin didn't wait too long.The day after that, Asai Nagamasa took the elite Honjin of Kotani Castle to the front line.

To the east of Lake Biwa is a large alluvial plain.The flowing rivers fertilized the land and also separated the north and the south, forming a situation where the north and the south were divided by the near river.

The Inugami River, Aichi River, Hino River, and Nosu River flow into the Omi Basin with abundant water sources, and the central area to the east of Lake Biwa is the best cultivated land in the country.

During the Asai Hisamasa era, Rokkaku Tahori captured Kita Omi's Inugami, Aichi, and Takashima prefectures, and the Asai family was forced to shrink back to Jiangbei.

Gaogong, Dawei, Qianzui and other cities all fell into the hands of the Liujiao family, leaving only Zuohe Shancheng alone to hold on to the protrusion, which was the last nail to stop the enemy from outside the three counties of Jiangbei.

As a strong general in the family, Isano Yuanchang was named the lord of Sawayama Castle.Just because the day Zuohe Mountain City fell was the day when Jiangbei was invaded by Liujiao.

The joint battle strategy of the two sides this time is also carried out around the mountain city.[-] soldiers from the Liujiao family pointed directly at the city, and Asai Nagamasa led [-] troops to rescue.

Two days later, Asai Nagamasa's main formation arrived at the foot of the mountain castle, waiting for the troops from all walks of life to gather.Under the general mobilization of the Asai family, [-] detachments came, except for the defenses in various places.

According to the scale of [-] to [-] people in each branch, more than [-] troops were assembled.It's just that the peasants and soldiers are responsible for logistics with their own dry food, and there are only four or five thousand people who can really go into battle.

The [-] troops of the Liujiao family are still advancing and gathering. According to reports from the spies, they will reach the front line of the mountain city in three days.

The Asai family has nowhere to retreat, and Liujiao Yixian is eager to win, and it will be a fierce battle at that time.

At this time, in a valley behind Sawayama Castle, the Fujido people had been placed for three days.

If it wasn't for the Asai family's envoys to contact them, they almost thought they had been forgotten.

This is the backside of Sawayama Castle, away from the frontal battlefield.The military order said that the Fujitang people should guard the valley road to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the rear.

But even if the enemy passes through the valley road, the towering walls of Sawayama Castle are ahead.It can warn from a distance, and mobilize soldiers and horses to guard from the front.

The Liujiao family had to eat enough to go around this far, without any sudden attack on the city wall. Isn't the front wall not beautiful enough?
However, at the other end of the valley road, there was an army of the Liujiao family watching from afar, lest the defenders squeeze out some troops to attack the rear of the Liujiao army.

The young and frivolous Todo Takatora has been depressed for the past few days. He thought he would have a chance to show his skills this time, but who knew he would be sent to such a place.People are almost bored to death, and they still talk about making achievements.

"Second daughter, do you have something on your mind?"

Her mother, Todo Toraka, was cheerful.

As the leader of the Fujido, what she is most worried about is being sent to the battlefield by the Asai family to be used as cannon fodder.It is a good thing to be overjoyed to be dealt with so coldly now.

"Mother, you are happy. The Asai family clearly doesn't believe us, and let us waste our food and money to hang out here. We don't have any part in this reward from the public."

"Isn't that good? When I was young, I was like you. I thought about doing something to make the family bigger. I went out and met a lot of people. Hey, it's better to be safe, at least the family can continue."

Fujido Toraka was also an excellent Ji samurai at the beginning, he walked out of Omi and traveled as a ronin, and fought many joint battles.

Therefore, she is well-informed and was embraced as the leader by the people of the twelve villages near Tengtang Village.

"Are you still happy? Without military achievements, the Fujitang family will have to be a servant for the rest of their lives, and there will be no chance of being a leader."

It's hard for Gao Hu to understand her mother's thoughts. She is young and energetic, and she just wants to make a name for herself with her martial arts.

"In those years when I went out, I suffered countless injuries and suffered countless hardships. I only understood one truth, and that is to accept fate.

We are born to be the fate of the village women and the people, no matter how much you dance, the board on your head will not be able to withstand it.Don't give up until your head is broken. "

Fujido Toraka looked at his unconvinced daughter and sighed.Just about to explain a few more words, the personal guard came over.

"Boss, someone from Zuohe Yamashiro has come and said he will take over our command, do you see?"

"Command?"

Fujido Toraka frowned.The original order was just to defend on the spot. Do you need to send someone to direct this kind of thing?Could it be that something has changed?
"Go and have a look."

She walked out as she spoke, and Gao Hu followed excitedly behind her, feeling that there was a battle to be fought.

Some time ago, the Honjin with Asai Nagamasa arrived in Yamashiro, and Yoshigin brought Maeda Yoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Otani Kichitsusanhime to look for his national subordinates for this joint battle.

After walking for a while, Li Yi began to mutter.

"Why is it getting farther and farther away from the battlefield?"

The direction of the gathering of the two parties has been clearly defined, and it will probably be in a few open areas right in front of the mountain city.Yiyin and his party turned backwards, didn't they go far away?

"Senseiji, what do you think?"

Yiyin has recently developed a good habit of asking Guangxiu when something is unclear.

"It seems that the Asai family doesn't want to use these Chinese people, and they don't trust you."

The strategy of the Asai family is not difficult to see.

"I?"

"Worrying that something will happen to you on the battlefield with your military power, the Asai family will suffer a lot.

You are now her family's trump card. With you here, the Ashikaga family and the Liujiao family can't even pretend to be in harmony.

If you were not in battle, Nagamasa Asai would not be able to cry.Just give you a team, stay away from the battlefield, and stay well after the war.

Anyway, the people of this country come from enemy counties, so they are not at ease when using them.Killing two birds with one stone is really easy to calculate. "

Akechi Mitsuhide spoke simply, and all three of them understood.

Otani Yoshitsugu didn't speak, she was not as close as Maeda Yili, now she kept a steady word and just listened to the Lord's words.

Benefits are a bit emotional, the battle of Ganqing has not been fought yet, and his family has become a burden, so he is not happy.

Just as he was about to speak, Yiyin glared back.Are you afraid that you won't have to fight?With Mitsuhide Akechi, the female counselor who cut all black, she wouldn't stop beating until her legs were weak.

Yoshigin turned his head to look at the formation flag held by Yoshitsugu Otani, two flags of Ashikaga White Flag and Shiba Kemon were hung above and below.

In this world battlefield, we can tell the enemy from ourselves, relying on the military flags of each family.

The flag on the back, the formation flag of the reserve team, and the horse seal of the general.This time, Yoshigin was theoretically commanding a reserve team, so he naturally chose to hang the Shiba family's family crest on the flagpole of the formation flag.

The Shiba family's crest is very similar to the Ashikaga family's, with some changes.The Ashikaga family loves to use Eryinliang, but they are not qualified to use them, so they have created a bunch of similar variants.

But Xibei goods are Xibei goods, and fakes cannot become real.When it comes to platooning noodles, or the strength of the Ashikaga white flag, I don’t know that the people of the country are not aware of the goods.

Thinking of Akechi Mitsuhide's family theory, Yoshihiro didn't know what to do.This is like a title card of the previous life, it sounds nicer, so there is nothing to be proud of.

Can it make people give up their lives and forget their lives?

　It's [-] words, and I feel so awesome with my hands on my hips, haha.
